More of a slippy gorge walking with some optional features. This is a open canyon with constant escape out along the bank.
We started at the road bridge SH 712 248. You can drive up here climbers right (off road track, but van made it up), or more gently up on climbers left (via Ty’n-y-groes-bach). Parking at bridge. Several short slides amongst the slippy gorge walking for the most part. Things get more vertical just about the main falls (optional start), where there is a nice 7m slide, then 20m abseil, 8m jump and some smaller jumps and slides.
Be aware depth can change after flooding, some of the pools that were deep, no longer are and vice versa. Got out just beneath the main road before it joined the Mawddach.
Gorge/ Canyon is usually known as the Gamlan/ Afon Gamlan or Cwm Camlan, with Rhaeadr Ddu (Black Falls) referring to the main waterfall, and lots of other waterfalls on other rivers.
